Years ago, I had an old style Pentax film camera. It took great pictures, but I didn’t want to bring it with me anywhere, in case it got knocked by something, or worse… wet. I did have a nice padded case for it, but padding can only go so far against water or rough handling.

So, I decided to splurge, and bought a lexan case, by Underwater Kinetics that looks like a lunch box. The box was perfect. I could take my camera with me wherever I went, and didn’t’ have to worry about it getting dropped into the water, or getting knocked.

This box, was well worth the money and paid for itself over and over!!!

Then, I bought a BIGGER case (also by Underwater Kinetics ) so I could bring ALL my lenses. I never ended up using this one as much cause it was bigger, and I got into packing light, and thus I then purchased a smaller point and shoot digital Canon camera. I’m keeping the bigger yellow Underwater Kinetics case to keep my laptop dry when I go sailing.

Of course, for my small point and shoot digital, I bought a small black and clear case by Pelican. I bring this camera with me everywhere, cause I feel safe bringing it. I leave it in my purse or bag, and am never caught without my camera, and I don’t have to worry about it getting wet or broken.

Pelican cases come with a great warranty: it is a lifetime warranty that means that they guarantee their products from damage or defects in workmanship and they guarantee that their cases will stay dry to a depth of 1 metre for 30 mins (as long as the case or o-ring hasn’t been damaged). Plus their bigger heavy duty cases are guaranteed watertight and unbreakable for life!!!

When I guided canoe trips, we used to use pelican cases for many things such as First aid Kits, Satellite phone, GPS. Plus, on these trips, I always recommended the small cases to the campers for their sensitive gear. The small ones usually costs somewhere between $10-20 and are quite handy. Plus their small size allow them to not take up too much space.
